Emperor Goose on an Autumn Pond

This was taken earlier in November before the snow arrived.
Please visit Freda at Tuesday Takes for more photos. I am trying not to be too wordy as this is also for Wordless Wednesday. I will stop using words now.........

What an unusual looking duck/goose. Not even sure which is correct, but it sure is a beautiful bird.
Love the soft blue color on his head.
Thanks for participating Judy!

What a great shot! The water looks so serene and peaceful and... NOT FROZEN! :o) I love it!

Sandra said...

love the header and have not heard of emperor geese, or are you just calling him that because he is king of his family

Ginny said...

We have a lot of geese and ducks around, but nothing like this!! His neck doesn't look as long as most geese, though, but he sure is pretty! Wonder why he is called Emperor? Perhaps he has Chinese connections!
